When ordinary just won't do

Pre War 1936 Sunbeam Model 9 Looks Properly British

September 27, 2016 by Paul Crowe

1936 Sunbeam Model 9

Picture in your mind a pre war era British motorcycle and you would come up with something very much like this Sunbeam Model 9. The engine catches your eye first, but the entire machine wrapped around the 500cc single, plays the part well, right down to the "pedestrian slicer" on the front mudguard. This particular example, previously owned by motorcycle author … [Read more...]

Pristine 1964 Triumph Bonneville T120R Needs Nothing

1964 Triumph Bonneville T120R

If a motorhead says British Invasion or Sounds of the 60s, it's not about music, it could more likely be about a Triumph Bonneville T120R and how it sounds when you kick it to life. This is the quintessential British motorbike, the one the Japanese tried to recreate with the Kawasaki W650. Somehow it just became the bike we all picture as emblematic of the era.

Absolutely Beautiful 1958 Ariel Square Four Resto Mod

September 15, 2016 by Paul Crowe

1958 Ariel Square 4

This 1958 Ariel Square 4 restomod is one of the nicest looking examples to be offered for sale for quite some time. It was recently treated to a complete frame off restoration and the seller made some very nice upgrades though all of the original pieces go along with the sale.
